Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

I was rummaging through my huge pile of draft posts in my blogger account. All the things I were trying to post, but failed somehow. Then I stumbled upon this draft which suddenly struck me hard. I was going to post it 2mths ago but stopped after just a few sentences. Let it speak to you.
Two months ago, during the monthly communion. I still remember it really clearly, the symbolic thing that happen. Nope, not the actual thing of drinking the cup, but something that happen out of coincidence. I was holding the bread and the cup, listening to the pastor speak. And then, something I still find amazing happened. Holding the bread, and accidentally crushed it. It was like broken, almost in a few pieces. And then this voice in me rang, "He was crushed for you." A crushed bread, a crushed body of Jesus Christ.
"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed." Isiah 53:5
Sometimes we take Jesus's death for granted. It's time that we realised, how violent his death was, how much pain he suffered just for you. Yup, I believe He had you in mind when he died. He was crushed for us, and by his stripes we are healed. Now, I watched The Passion of the Christ, and really, it was so touching I literally cried when watching. But I love the scene, when he was being whipped, that when he was on the floor, he got up again to take the whippings full force. Why? Cause every whip that he took, your brokenness disappeared. Every whip that he took, your sickness disappeared. Every whip that he took, your chains disappeared. BY HIS STRIPES, WE ARE HEALED. Oh, how amazing is that. When I think i would never break free, I am reminded, by His stripes we are healed. Why do you think it's called "The Passion of the Christ"? He is so passionate about you, and you alone. He loves you so much. Let it soak in. He loves you. Amazing love, how can it be? That You my King should die for me. Amazing love, I know it's true. It's my joy to honour you, in all I do.
